A pregnancy should never be called an accident - its just our bodies doing exactly what its supposed to do.
This sounds like a catch phrase. I do think some pregnancies can be termed accidents, especially if you've done all that you can to make sure that it doesn't occur.
I was an accident. Of course, my mom calls me her "surprise".
It's just a matter of getting the right people in office rather than the right gender (this is another hot spot with me and feminism :)
Don't get me wrong--I know full well that there are male feminists out there. (My Feminist Philosophy course was taught by a man, a very thoughtful man who I would definitely consider a feminist.) In general, though, men pick up feminist ideals secondhand, and there's often some resistance. In a male-dominated society, it's easier for a man to stay situated in his own realm of perception.
